How often are you supposed to get your eyes checked? For as long as I can remember I always wanted to wear eyeglasses just like my Dad. Over the years my brother and mother ended up having to get glasses to. How true is it, that if you eat all your carrots on your plate that your eyes will grow stronger? I was always a naive kid, and still am – you can pull the wool over my eyes so fast and I’m like “Where’d you go?”.
I have always loved carrots, and wanted more and more on my plate. I don’t remember if my Brother or Mother always had additional carrots added to theirs. Maybe that’s why I have great vision? I don’t know where it came from. Certainly not genetics, because my parents have glasses. Right?
I don’t remember the last time I went to an eye doctor. I have a better range of sight than the 20/20 vision’ers (is that a word?). Apparently I can see 15/20, or maybe it’s 20/15. I don’t quite remember. But I do recall being disappointed that I didn’t get to scope out some new frames for my bad self.
Nobody should wish bad eyes on themselves, as I know glasses can get pretty pricey. But I came across a site called Zenni — check out more in this article as there is a review there, too. But that article was talking about how you can get quality eyeglasses for a LOW cost. I mean, there aren’t any middlemen, no retail overhead and they barely have an advertising budget – it’s all word of mouth. I know Cinda (a girl I know online, actually) who bought her frames from Zenni and they didn’t cost her a lot out of pocket.
Something to consider?

Once every two years if you have no history of eye problems I think is the general rule of thumb :)
You should have an exam once a year!At least thats what my eye doctor says but i have bad eyes so boooo. haha I <3 Zenni and I got excited to see my name in a post!
